I don't think I've ever been inside a US home with adequate ventilation around the gas stove. Most places I've rented have only had internal filtered vents, usually with aged, unclean proprietary filters you couldn't swap out if you wanted to. Among those houses with external vents, most are too small, or don't have enough pull to keep air quality decent in the kitchen while cooking.
I used to really like gas stoves, but between the monthly hookup cost and the air quality issues, I'm happy with my current electric stove instead. Maybe once I buy a place, instead of renting, I can finally get induction.

It is possible that in apartments the vents may only be filters and not external vents. That seems like a question for the building codes.
